Home & Garden
Clevedon Pride Open Gardens arden lovers in North Somerset are in for a rare treat in June when a number of the finest gardens in Clevedon will be open to the public. Organised by Clevedon Pride, the Open Gardens weekend on Saturday and Sunday, June 18-19, will give everyone the opportunity to explore the secrets of hidden and private gardens not usually open to the public. And for a mere £5 visitors will be able to browse around gardens of all shapes and sizes throughout Clevedon. Behind the stone walls and privets there are gardens which are truly astounding - big ones, small ones and, quite frankly, some which just go on forever. The many delights include a number of cottage gardens full of old favourites such as roses, clematis and mixed shrub borders; traditional Japanese inspired designs that create miniature idealised landscapes in a stylised manner and a truly innovative garden created by a local artist full of texture, colour
and sculptural trees. There are also a number of gardens which open every year for the National Garden’s Scheme. The informative programme, which includes a brief description of every garden and a map, will give you access to all gardens as many times as you like throughout the weekend Refreshments will be available at some of the venues and there will be an opportunity to buy plants to take away and nurture in your own garden. All proceeds raised from the weekend will be donated to the ongoing hanging baskets appeal. Programmes, at £5 each, may be bought at the gift shop Present Company in Clevedon’s Queen’s Square, by ringing 01275 874097.
